Police probe killing of woman in downtown Philly

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An autopsy is scheduled as police investigate the death of a woman whose body was found burned in a home in downtown Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police Chief Inspector Scott Small says firefighters responding to the home Monday afternoon found the woman's body on fire, with her ankles and wrists bound. Investigators say there was no sign of forced entry or anything taken from the home.

Officials say the body was discovered by the woman's dog walker and that her face and upper body were so badly burned that she was unrecognizable. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Authorities haven't released the woman's name. But neighbors have identified her as a young doctor named Melissa Ketunuti. Property records list Ketunuti as the homeowner.
